So what do yall think of this? See any glaringly obvious problems with mounting it like this

Other than the belt doesn't wrap very far around the alternator pulley???

just shy of 180... 135 or so. How much more does it need?

I am looking at it from my running a 160 amp alt and I want ALOT of contact with the belt. I just realized that the top pulley just to the alt's right goes OVER the belt, not under.
Never mind my previous post.
Should be good.

Price: = Profit + Hours to fab. + Type of steel used(?) I am interested in upgrading alt. amps., therefore require a top side mounted unit on my '89 4.0 RENIX, (non-air conditioned base model), so I am in need to obtain a relocation bracket! Please PM me with what you think such a mod. piece/price would be fair. Thanks ahead.

on the renix, you can do this in less than an hour, without home depot trips for the new bolts. The only fab required is a peice of 1/4 or 3/16 flat plate, with two holes drilled in a straight line about an inch an a half apart. then clearance the peice to clear the alt, and your good. the blue bracket in my pics is the oem alt bracket from down below. you can even keep your mechanical fan.... no need to ditch the entire bracket, or hunt down a yj bracket... this has been covered over and over, search for more details.

guess i never looked at them that close i didn't know the ac mounted on the same bracket, plus mine don't look like that

It's times like these that makes me understand why guys that fab their own junk have no desire to mass produce even the good shit....
